Re: Cannot get AScom to work with ServoCat v3
Just read Paul's saga and realised the issues I am having are pretty much the same as his. Even though the utility says the version is 70.C it incorrectly reports all other parameters. Didn't see a

Initiate tracking without 2 star alignment?
There are time where it would be nice to initiate tracking, for example early evening when viewing the moon, before any alignment stars are visible with my AN/SC setup? ?One method I have thought

Re: No GoTo in southern part of sky
Doug - just to be sure I resent the doc. It was sent direct to you both times. The 2nd time I used a different outgoing email address just in case the first was blocked. Also note it along with all
